Dear teachers! When you teach the children, you must remember that you are engaged in a noble task for the sake of the children entrusted to your care. You must feel that you are educating yourselves when you are educating the children. For instance, when you impart some knowledge to the children, your own understanding of the subject improves. Even when you study books for teaching the children, you also derive joy from the study. Hence you must always have the feeling that whatever you do for others is in reality a service done to the Divine that resides in everyone. When teachers do their duty in this spirit, they will be imbuing the children with the spirit of Universal love. Remember that children have tender hearts and innocent minds. Only if you fill their hearts with love will the world have genuine peace.

– Sri Sathya Sai, Dec 30, 1983.

The teacher and the pupil will both be immersed in joy only when Love that does not calculate the reward binds them together. – BABA
